Brimming with character and tucked into the cobbled lanes of Hawkshead village, Wordsworth Lodge is a beautifully restored 17th-century Lake District cottage, perfect for family holidays, dog-friendly escapes, and laid-back get-togethers with friends.
This is a home with history – once the lodgings of William Wordsworth as a young student – and today Wordsworth Lodge offers an inviting mix of original features, quirky corners, and cosy comfort, all just steps from the village square.
The sociable ground floor layout is made for groups, with a large open-plan living and dining space, deep leather sofas around a log-burning stove, and a Smart TV for relaxed nights in. There’s a boot room for muddy paws and walking boots, a practical utility room, and a separate WC. The kitchen at Wordsworth Lodge is well-equipped for group cooking, with a Rangemaster cooker, dishwasher, wine fridge, and everything you need to self-cater with ease – ideal for longer stays and group holidays in the Lake District.
You’ll find four individually styled en-suite bedrooms, ideal for mixed groups or extended families. Just up a few steps from the lounge is a snug double with Smart TV and an en-suite shower room. Upstairs, the spacious master bedroom features a super king bed, Smart TV, and en-suite with a bath and walk-in shower. The second upstairs bedroom can be set up as a twin or super king and has its own en-suite with a bath and separate shower. The final bedroom, tucked under the eaves with lovely, exposed beams, offers a restful king-size bed and en-suite shower.
Outside, a small rear courtyard offers space for morning coffee or an evening drink. Two dogs are welcome at Wordsworth Lodge, and private parking for two cars is a short stroll away (no permit required), with space nearby for unloading.
Whether you’re planning a walking holiday, a dog-friendly group getaway, or a relaxing family break in the Lake District, Wordsworth Lodge offers a character-filled base in one of the region’s most charming and well-loved villages.
